Summary
 Wilbur Smith returns to his legendary Courtney Series with a brand new World War II thriller.

1943. The tide of the Second World War is turning. The Russian victory at Stalingrad - the bloodiest battle in history - has opened the door for the Allies. Now, they must strike decisively at the heart of Hitler's Reich. But military success cannot be guaranteed without total secrecy.

Special Operations Executive, Saffron Courtney, is sailing from the west coast of Scotland to New York on the Queen Mary. Her mission - to identify the mole in the British Embassy in Washington, DC before Churchill and Roosevelt begin the talks that will determine British and American military strategy in the wake of the Russian victory.

Haunted by the ghosts of her previous mission in the Low Countries, and with dangerous agents on her tail, Saffron must find the spy who could derail the Allied advance. Time is running out. Will Saffron complete her mission? Or will she succumb to the shadows of her past?

Great story as always but could have easily done with double the length or more, only because I am greedy though.
Love the narrator, he does an excellent job yet again.

Excellent as always

I was apprehensive about a book co-written by Wilbur Smith and David Churchill but it was misplaced.

This was right up there with the rest of Mr Smith’s work.

Poor Saffron doesn’t have much luck in love but her skills and experience as an agent are better and better.

Great story, well written and narrated.
